Lightning Protection for Rooftop Solar PV Plants Explained!

We've explained why all Rooftop Solar PV Plants need a Lightning Protection System! In this video, we’ve addressed some major issues for protecting your Rooftop Solar Projects including Lightning Protection Design, External Protection such as Lightning Arrestors & Down Conductors, Internal Lightning Protection Systems like Surge Protection and very specific issues faced by Solar Plants during Design & Installation of a Lightning Protection System. If you’re planning for Lightning Protection solar panels, one of the goals of rooftop solar plants is to fully utilise the limited area available. There needs to be good coordination between the technicians like designers/installers and the rooftop solar system, to make sure that space is adequately optimised and is meeting the requirements such as separation distance. Similarly, there are other issues like Solar Tracking, Shadows of Lightning Arrester on the panel and separation distance. Also, it has a common risk of the Lightning Arresters falling and damaging the panels. If the long metallic lightning rods or ESE lightning arresters are not designed or installed correctly, they can fall on the modules and cause significant financial losses.
